But among his varied musical talents, singing and playing guitar is his favourite. "It's an addiction really," said Bradstreet from his Toronto home. To quench this craving, he returns to his Oakville roots Sunday, for a 7 p.m. show at the Moonshine Café on Kerr Street. "I loved growing up in Oakville." Bradstreet can even still remember the words to the Blakelock High School song, which is where the performer in him first emerged. The last time Bradstreet set foot on local turf was November 2001, at the Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts. It was the venue chosen for the launch of the Tears of a Thousand Years CD, which he co-produced. The compilation disc of Canadian artists was a benefit in aid of the Sept. 11, 2001 tragedy. This time Bradstreet is in town to give fans a sneak peak at his latest release called Lifelines. The official launch of the CD is June 27. It's an acoustic live recording of original music created with Jason Fowler and David Woodhead. Bradstreet promises to play some favourites at Moonshine, including One Way or Another and Long Long Road, as well as his best-known song Renaissance (Let's Dance That Old Dance Once More), which was a hit for Canadian icon, Valdy. Over the span of his extensive career, Bradstreet has created 19 albums, won a Juno for best new male vocalist in 1977 and three subsequent Juno nominations in 1998, 1999 and 2001 for his latest instrumental forays into therapeutic music. The film and television scores he's written have earned him a Gemini nomination in the best original documentary category for a TSN series called For The Love Of The Game. In the span of his 30-something year career Bradstreet has also co-produced records for Jane Siberry (in 1980) and Colleen Peterson (in 2004). His television credits include incidental (background) music credits for the drama Six Feet Under, a short feature for Global called Collateral Damage and tonnes of commercial jingles for clients such as Air Canada, the Globe David Bradstreet & Mail, Toshiba and Xerox, to name a few. He lives by the adage spoken by former U.S. president Calvin Coolidge - that success is 90 per cent persistence. "Even the lean years have been good to me," said Bradstreet. Those occurred when the architecture graduate hit the road to instead perform at college campuses, folk clubs and coffee houses. "I've managed to do a lot of different musical things through a lot of hard work and with really good people," said Bradstreet. He's rubbed shoulders with accomplished musicians such as Bob and Danny Lanois, Peter Yarrow, Phil Ramone, Mimi Farina, Albert Grossman and Todd Rundgren. Bradstreet recently started a new record company called TheraMusic. The response has been "outrageous" with 2.5 million records sold through nine sleep aid albums produced on the Solitudes label. Providing a drug-free way to help people sleep better, relieve stress and improve their concentration through music has been under study for decades at the University of Toronto, said Bradstreet. He's equally keen to do his part toward such non-invasive therapy for a worldwide audience. Historical map poses a challenge Continued from page 35 On all Festival weekend in the Mattamy Children's Village.

According to DeCarli, many steps are involved in the successful restoration of this map. First, a six-foot by seven-foot stretcher frame with a fiberglass screening will be used. A layer of cloth will then go overtop the fiberglass screening. The map will then be hand sewn into all of the layers. DeCarli will insert clips around the frame to keep the acrylic covering from touching the map. This will ensure oxygen flow, impeding further deterioration of the heirloom. Then, the UV resistant acrylic glazing will be placed before the final step of framing the map takes place. This type of project is new to DeCarli and The Framing Den. "I've read materials where people have done things like this with valuable pieces and am going about this project in a way that I've read about," he said enthusiastically. "We (The Framing Den) are always challenged with something different," said DeCarli. "The challenge is what gives you great satisfaction when you see it completed, see what you've been able to accomplish." The map originally belonged to a geography teacher in Trenton, Ontario. The map has remained in the family all these years, and the heirloom is now in the possession of one of the family members in Burlington. According to DeCarli, this gigantic piece of history will be featured in the Burlington home upon the project's completion.
